Nice, such color!

Thank you. It's helped by an out of focus red brick wall behind the flower.

I've no idea what these are save a high-rise tower block of flowers
( about 5" tall) they turned up a couple of years ago, by the side of my pond
and decided to stay



The bane of my life lawn ( with guests)

Common vetch

All the names I got from Plantnet on my iPhone, I'm open to correction if they are wrong. Any other suggestions for any free flower id apps?

Thanks,

Not truly a flower, but a seed head from cotton grass
(Marginal pond plant)



Loads of these appearing in my lawn, the humble buttercup.

Hawthorn. Known locally as May or Mey. There's a saying "Never cast a cloot till Mey be oot." (Don't remove any clothes until May is out.) Generally people claim the saying relates to the month, keep your clothes on until the end of May. Some people argue it means Don't remove any clothes until the Hawthorn blossom is out.
